Made In Chelsea star Ashley James has revealed the gender of her unborn child.
The influencer and her boyfriend Tom Andrews are expecting their first child together, with Ashley telling that they plan to raise “a little feminist.”
Giving a statement to Hello!, Ashley announced that they’re expecting…a baby boy!
“Tommy and I are over the moon to be expecting a baby boy!” the CelebrityBig Brother star dished, “Our main joy is that the baby is growing as he should be and appears healthy and worryingly active.”
But despite their joy, a boy is not what Ashley was expecting.
The blonde beauty explained that she thought she would be having a little girl “perhaps because I was somewhat hoping to raise a little feminist with a strong mind.”
Ashley added: “But I know that this little boy will grow up so loved and supported, with great values and the utmost respect for women…and hopefully he’ll make a great big brother one day!”
And while Ashley admitted that she’s “never been that maternal”, Tom’s feels entirely ready.
“I just started laughing,” he said, “I was so happy as soon as I found out.
“No part of me felt scared. I’m over the moon about being a dad.”
Ashley dropped her baby bombshell last month, sharing a snap of herself and Tom, one hand on her blossoming bump.
She penned: “I’m beyond excited/nervous to finally be able to share our incredibly happy news with you all – especially given I’m an open book who HATES keeping secrets.”
Ashley met ten years back, but only struck up a romance in October last year.
She’s spoken widely about body confidence in the past, and wrote to fans some of her thoughts about her body now that she’s expecting a baby.
Sharing a snap of herself in a swimsuit at the beach, Ashley penned: “Bump’s first time at the beach.
“I’ve obviously done a lot of work on my body image, but I’ve never been more in awe of it as I am now. I absolutely love getting to watch my body grow and evolve to grow a tiny human.”
She added some tips for pregnant women based on her own experience, and continued: “I read that a lot of women don’t take many images of their body whilst pregnant due to insecurity about the way they look, and that 41% of pregnant women feel bad about their body image.
